I hope you went out and bought some AAA batteries after our announcement yesterday. Otherwise your lightsabers and blasters might not be ready for this awesome new update! Set on Kamino and Coruscant, Angry Birds Star Wars II Rise of the Clones (v1.5) is now available for iOS and Android via Google Play and the Amazon Appstore, with more platforms coming soon.
PC release: Occurred on 13 June, and includes the Carbonite Rewards (v1.3.0) and Galactic Giveaway (v1.4.0) updates! Please check those posts for more information. :)
This update includes:
- 40 new levels in Episode 4: Rise of the Clones! Per usual, these levels are split as 20 on the Bird side and 20 on the Pork side. Our walkthroughs are live if you need help.
Note: You must pick your side when you first attempt to open the episode. For example, if you choose the Bird Side, the Pork Side will unlock after accumulating 35 stars in the Bird Side or pay 700 Bird Coins. (The price in Bird Coins in 20 times however many stars you still need to unlock the side.)
- 4 new secret levels, which means two new treasure maps to find! We’ll help you find them all in our Complete Treasure Maps guide.
- 4 new gameplay characters! Now play as Padawan Anakin, Mace Windu, Jedi Youngling, and Boba Fett!
- No new hidden Bonus Boxes in this release, but maybe in the future. If you need help finding boxes from previous releases, head to our handy guide.
- 4 new achievements!
- New Last Chance Bird: If you have used your entire lineup but enemies still remain, you can summon another bird to your lineup from your stock of Character Swaps!

Does anyone know how the final boos works in pork side? because sometimes the spaceship starts shooting. Is it random or do you need to activate it somehow?
@bad-piggies-2 It will shoot when it has a clear shot at an enemy (as in, no debris stands in the way of a direct shot).
Thanks @amslimfordy
Just played the first couple levels of the bird side, and I have to say I like that Rovio placed the TNT on the side of the far platform on level one to demonstrate that the platforms are actually “in play” vs. placing the “hit it here” yellow triangles all over the place like they did in Short Fuse. Gameplay just feels more natural this way.
@Burbman — If you haven’t gotten there yet, they do have plenty of wooden arrows in various levels.
@Sparty83 @AMSlimfordy @BirdLeader — Checked all of B1 and B2-20 (which had no coins in original Galactic Giveaway release). No new coins in those levels.
Rise of the Clones seems to have a lot.
Will check rest of old levels later.
@mvnla2,
I keep checking but it has not dropped for Android/google play yet (11am eastern). when it does, i will do screen caps and coin counts again.
I had 914 coins found before the update, now I have a total of 1145. I found 231 new coins in the new levels. Let me know if you find any more than that. I did find that you couldn’t see all of the coins on the iPhone, but when I switched to my ipad I could see them much easier.
@mvnla2 I meant to tag you in that post :)
@mvnla2 @sparty83 @cali-mom I found 235 coins in P4/S4 (113 coins in P4 and 122 coins in S4)
In the forum discussion of coins you have details.
sorry. @cali_mom
@call_mom — This is the forum with the list of coins. I can’t see some of them even on my iPad.

@cali_mom — I’ve got your name hardwired as CALL Mom!
Lol. It’s for California :). Cali!
No indication of new characters in rewards chapters.
I have problems with download from Play Store (Android)?!
as said @bird-tester it is only for iOS now
Instead of 72 stars per side it’s 66 now! I wonder why they stopped 2 extra levels
@joeyba Episodes always start with 1 treasure map, and a 2nd is added later.
@amslimfordy, I know. But usually we had S1, S2, S3, S4. in this update just S1, S2
But they always release just 1&2 in v1.x.0 and add 3&4 in a later version.
oh ok. I forgot that detail. Thx for clarifying..
It’s killing me that it’s not out for andriod yet!
@sparty83
Tumtitumtitum, waiting for android release is not much fun ;)
Yes @leggy you are right.
I agree with u, @leggy, but it will be more fun if I play it in PC. Collecting coins without purchasing is fun. It would b great if Android version have that ‘coins from stars’ feature.
Good Afternoon
Been waiting for “Rise of the Clones” and it says it’s available
but it is not giving me an auto update.
Please check into this for me.
Thanks
Duff
@duff It is available for iOS.
Pork Side is definitely easier, many more big points, big explosion levels.
@dmsral — Oh, yes! Pork side is normal difficulty, got lots of 3* on first pass, some even on first fling! Bird side is really difficult.
@AMSlimfordy @Sal9, @E-Star — I haven’t quite figured out how those striped cables? in Pork side work. They seem to be key to getting high scores. Any tips?
@mvnla2: Finally 3-starred everything. Not embarrassed to say I had to turn to the walkthroughs for help on a few of them. @amslimfordy rules!
@mvnla2 I am sorry, I took the pork side and not sure if I will turn to the birdie side as SWII isn’t really my cup of tea. But if I do figure it out I will let you know!
@E-Star — The striped cables I don’t quite understand are on the pork side, so would love and tips you might have.
Thanks for the quick reply. I’m on Windows 7 premium not iOS.
Been waiting for the updates for a very long time. Any chance
that may happen?
Thanks again
Duff
@duff As it says in the post, the update is currently available for iOS and will arrive for other platforms in the near future.
Got to say that the Bird-side levels are difficult. Can’t remember when I last had so much trouble getting 2 stars, let alone 3. OK, I do remember that when I first started playing AB, I was happy to pass a level with 1 star, but since then?
that really sucks its only for ios i was filled with joy wen i seen and wondsered why i wudnt update @amslimfordy or @bird leader any clues as to wen it will be on android
i meant @birdleader
The PC version doesn’t even have the carbonite update, right?
nope, still v 1.2.1
Good, I was worried that they were going to skip over Coruscant and Kamino and go straight to Geonosis. But now I’m really concerned that they are going to skip over Geonosis because the the silhouette for the next level is Sith Anakin.
Of note: The shop has been completely changed. The separate “Watto’s Shop” is gone and they have merged it with the character swap menu. Also you can now use a swap even after you have used up all the default shots.
I absolutely love how the clones are wearing fake beaks.
Played a few levels and just a bunch of fun. Did some substitution and this update is going to take some thought and analysis. Should be fun experimenting with the various character’s attributes. Gain over 30k in points with one substitution. The possibilities are going to make this game play great.
Wish Rovio would release the remaining of the 2nd Series tele pods to the retail market.
@amslimfordy,
Just wild speculation here, but could it be possible that Rovio only did an iOS release today with others coming soon because of the ability to log into your ABSW2 account. Thinking that with a release of a new episode, they may have expected a higher than normal amount of traffic.
(since I play on android and don’t have the update yet, that’s my theory and I’m sticking to it)
Help! I activated the pig power-ups on the bird side by mistake for 10 coins and now the level on the level selection screen has a different color which looks ugly. How can I undo this? I cannot backup my phone cos my last backup was 2 months ago.
@chriss You can’t undo this. If you buy it for the rest of the levels they will at least look the same as that one. It’s 299 coins to unlock all levels on one side.
B4-8 is impossible for three stars.. Please help meeeee!!!!
It’s not impossible, though it is challenging. Our walkthrough is live.
I got it. But from the top left. Not going around!! Tx…
@amslimfordy: are you sure that there are hidden bonus boxes in this episode?
@chriss None in this release. Forgot to remove it.
Any word on when a release for Android or PC?? I don’t believe I saw anything in the thread above! Thanks!
Rise of the Clones is out only for iOS, but it should hit Android soon.
Using Android for Angry Birds Star Wars II and hoping update for rise of the clones will hit soon
there are technical issues with the android update, they hope to have it out soon. pc update will follow a litte later (twitter)
Thanks @josm for noticing!
Android: https://twitter.com/AngryBirds/status/472324653701431296
PC: https://twitter.com/AngryBirds/status/472328090346344448
We should wait A BIT!
@amslimfordy: I see 6 new achievements, not only 4.
@chris : les succès du Game Center ne sont plus au même nombre que dans le jeu. Les 2 “marquez 500.000 points” ne sont pas des succès du GC.
Oh I see. So there are 6 new in-game achievements, but only 4 new Game Center achievements?
@chriss : Exactly, but I don’t know why.
I think the maximum of achievements in Game Center is 100. So they want to keep 2 achievements for the next update, I guess.
@chriss :
Seriously ? Any game has no more than 100 achievements GC ?
GameCenter has caps of 100 achievements per app, 1000 achievement points per app, and 100 points per achievement.
I finished all 696/696 stars but only 99/100 medals.. What did i miss??? Please
Maybe “launch 10,000 attacks”?
Thanks Cris but i have it. And in the game it s all mark as “completed” i don t under stand where is the last one..
You have 10.000 or 1.000 attacks ?
There is a bug which makes that the progress bar of 10.000 attacks that must replace those 1.00 does not appear.
Of the blow the achievement is blocked but in the game we see that of the 1.000 as successful.
Otherwise look in Game Center to see at what you miss him.
Thanks very much.. Grimm.. You are right!! In Game Center i saw i missed 10000 attacks!! It Will be a long way.. Lol
It seems to be buged. Maybe you won’t get the achievement.
Is there a glitch with the leaderboards? Only it’s telling me I’m currently No.1 in the world… I don’t think that can be right.
Yes same for me!
I’m number 1. I think they’re bugged
@joeyba @epidemic27 — Which leaderboard are you talking about? I’m not #1 on anything, even if it is caused by a bug. : (
Game center
My score is 22,974,380 and I’m number 1 (7,607,505 Players)
That’s weird
It’s not completely clear in the shopping cart. The number of coins required per character corresponds to how many characters? infinite?
It shows the cost of 10 characters.
Is it still possible to buy an infinite number? What happens if you already bought someone infinite?
Yes, you can “re-purchase” on top of infinite. So beware, since it’s a waste of bird coins. ;)
@joeyba @Razorblood
The displayed cost is for 10 characters. Clicking on the “person of interest” does NOT purchase but rather opens their own little dialogue box. There, you can view and choose which package you want: +10, +30, +100, +∞.
@amslimfordy)
If you purchase another infinite character you have two infinite characters.I tryed this in the PC version and I now have two Red Battle Droids instead of one. :)
After I upgraded to the new version, I’m having problems with my Rovio Account. It works fine on the iPad I usually play it on. However, I’m going to have to return it to my school soon, and so have decided to start playing it on our iPod Touch. But my Rovio Account won’t sign in on that device. I try to log in and it does nothing.
I contacted Rovio about this, and they suggested rebooting the device. I tried that, and it didn’t work. They asked me to make sure both devices have the same version of the game, and indeed they do. Do the differing GameCenter accounts have anything to do with this issue? Could it be that the iPad is iOS 7 and the iPod Touch is iOS 6?
Is anyone else having a problem like this?
My friend playing on a android device is having the same problem since he reinstalled his phone yesterday
same issue here for android
@bad-piggies-2 @josm
Thanks, now I know even more it’s not my account–it’s the game itself. I would encourage contacting Rovio about this so they know I’m not the only one with the problem.
Same here, on Android. Upgraded to paid from free. Can’t sign in to either paid or free. No acknowledgement of either a failed or successful sign in. Reported to Rovio but not heard anything. Was hoping the new Clones update would fix it but nope.
Character swaps should be disableable, like power-ups in ABO.
AB Star Wars II have fun because Non-Swap and Character Swap scores are unable to separate. I think Rovio will make new power-ups for ABSW2 like:
Slow-motion flinging, Power-fuller weapon, Laser-sender over head and…
Rovio has expressed no hint that “Power Ups” outside of character swaps will be added in SW2.
Hey I have unlocked almost all Reward Chapters without Telepods.Only Bird Coins and Carbonite Rewards.
@lord-deventer — It’s possible to play the entire game without telepods. I’ve completed everything without using them, just coins and carbonite melts. Did you collect all the coins in the older episodes as well as Rise of the Clones? See the forum
https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/forums/topic/angry-birds-star-wars-ii-bird-coin-walkthrough-requests/
For numbers of coins available.
Out now for android!
@Sparty83 — Hope you saw this. Have fun!
@mvnla2, now that Android is out, I’ll make better notes of the swaps for coins. I just downloaded (on the way home,) so it will be interesting to see if the coins are any easier to see on Android than they were on iOS.
@sparty83,hope we have same list for coins count as we found on iOS release.
@mvnla2, saw it a couple of hours ago but just downloaded it. After dinner and chores I will do screen caps and coin counts.
@justpast40, i think it would be good to have 2 (or more) android counts.
